Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

A stylish, purple-inky floral and peppery Syrah with notes of dark cherry, blueberry and nutmeg. Medium bodied with a silky fine structure, it was spontaneously fermented and aged in 500L French oak puncheons for 16 months, 33% new oak. From a single north facing 420m vineyard on well-drained clay with shale fragments overlying a schist rock bed.

GUARANTEED PROVENANCE

Provenance in fine wine

When it comes to purchasing wine, provenance is of utmost importance. A wine’s history – where it’s sourced from and how it’s been stored – can have an enormous influence on the eventual enjoyment it provides. At Justerini & Brooks, we can trace nearly every case back to the domaine, estate or Château it originally came from; we ship from over 200 wine producers throughout the world.

Wines not bought directly from the vineyard are either sourced from trusted suppliers, with whom we share the same philosophy and rigour in buying, or from our own network of Cellarers customers. These customers’ wines are stored in optimal conditions in Octavian Corsham and, in the vast majority of cases, have been stored by us since the wine was first shipped. We do not purchase wine from auctions.

We feel it is equally important to for our customers that the case they buy and leave in storage with us is exactly the same case they subsequently have delivered. This may sound obvious and straightforward, yet we are one of very few merchants to have taken measures to ensure this.

We have created a system where every case is independent, thereby ensuring a trail of ownership and peace of mind for every customer.

The Journey

Justerinis ensures that every case of wine stored with Cellarers (Wines) Ltd has a unique identifier and customer’s name, almost unheard of in the industry as it is expensive to administer. These details are printed and placed on every case which is logged and recorded under your account name and kept in the world’s most renowned storage facility, Octavian Corsham.

This information is sent from our systems to the warehouse every day to ensure the trail of ownership is verified and upheld.

While customer reserves are stored in Corsham, our physical stocks are kept in Hoddesdon, further providing a geographical separation between customers’ wines with Cellarers and Justerinis’ own stock.

Further Reassurance

Cellarers (Wines) Ltd is a legally separate limited company from Justerini & Brooks which currently holds approximately £450 million worth of customer reserves. It is fully insured to catastrophic loss. Many merchants will state that wine in their care is fully insured, but in reality this is on an individual case basis with insufficient cover for total loss as this is prohibitively expensive. The cover provided by Octavian and Justerini & Brooks is unmatched.

Cellarers (Wines) Ltd is audited by PwC every year.

Critic Reviews

Stephan Reinhardt,

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Fermented with 25% whole yet crushed bunches, the 2020 Syrah opens with a deep, intense and spicy bouquet of dark berries and cherries. On the palate this is a full-bodied, refined, fresh and saline, substantial and persistent Syrah with ripe fruit, round tannins and a long, finely juicy finish. It is stimulatingly saline. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in May 2024.

Anne Krebiehl,

The 2020 Syrah was grown on the dolomitic limestone of the Spitzerberg. White pepper broods against back fruit. The palate tells us much about the Spitzerberg because the tannins are ripe, fine and crunchy. The fruit is intense. Syrah’s reductive edge shines through, yet there is ample freshness and such juicy flow, concentration and boldness. (Bone-dry)
